 | Moving a Boat to AZ - Effect on Wood Mast?
Hi everyone I'm very close to buying my first boat, she's a 31' mariner ketch. The plan was to pull her out of the water in CA and move her to AZ. I've gotten quotes on pulling her out of the water in CA, the shipping to AZ and taking her off the trailer and storing her in a slip in AZ. My Issue, and its something the rigger mentioned here in AZ was the effect of the dry environment will cause the wood Mast's to Crack and split. Any advice on the hole situation especially the effect of AZ Weather on a Fiberglass Sailboat.
